The Achilles is one of the most difficult species to keep, they come from high surge areas and you can consider yourself very lucky to keep one alive, or next, content.

A good link: http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/sur...kachillest.htm

I would have to agree the scopas or yellow, the Zebrasoma species in general perhaps, are very hardy.

I Was just stating that a Achillies is a hard fish to take care of. I should have been more clearer on that.

Maybe the 120X flow rate in my tank had something to do with it. the Achillies is what I am going to get again as soon as the new tank has cycled, but thanks for the link I will read it adter I finnish painting the room the tank is in today.
